My Girlfriend is a Gumiho

This is by far the best tv series in the world as romantic comedy and I am not a fan of rom-coms. Those who managed to finish this series are not disappointed for sure but if you just leave it in the first 5 episodes you loose pretty much your humanity. It includes very much fun and every hurtfull moment is well chosen in the storyline. I have never cried in any movie or tv series or even at my father's funeral yet the final episode made me cry like a baby..

The acting in this show is pretty cheesy, the only one who can really act properly is Seung-gi (and the other mystical vet guy), but then it's probably what the producer intended! Somehow amongst all the dramatic pauses, the fart jokes, a strange obsession with cows and strange minor characters it seems to work and all come together well. If you can get past all that it's a good show worth watching.

"My Girlfriend is a Gumiho" is known for its lighthearted and comedic moments, blending fantasy with romance. The show explores themes of love, sacrifice, and the challenges of maintaining a relationship under unusual circumstances. The chemistry between the two leads, played by Lee Seung-gi and Shin Min-ah, adds depth to the story. The drama combines humor, drama, and fantasy elements, making it an engaging and enjoyable watch for those who enjoy romantic comedies with a supernatural twist. The story revolves around a college student named Cha Dae-woong who accidentally frees a gumiho named Mi-ho from a painting where she was trapped for 500 years. In exchange for saving his life, Mi-ho must consume his life force. To avoid this, they strike a deal to help her become human. As they spend time together, they develop a unique and heartwarming relationship.

A fantasy drama based on a legend of a gumiho (fox with nine tails). The story has many funny moments. The main leads have great performances and their chemistry is notable! Dialogues and the plot are really solid and upgrade the whole series. Even the supporting roles don't seem boring.

The best part is the gradual develpment of every character during the 16 episodes, especially the male lead actor.

There are also many moral messages , concerning the difference, the loyalty and the love.

Worth to mention the OST. There are songs so catchy!

This drama really worth to watch it! It has everything. Laugh , cry , love.

I don't know where to start. I have never felt emotions so strong before in my life. Yes, In my life, I have watched hundreds of war and romantic movies based on love. At best, they are able to bring emotions in which my eyes get little watery in the end. This show made be cry out loud because of happiness and pain. It was as if I was experiencing same kind of emotions what mi-ho and dae-woong was going through. I got so attached to them that 1 hour of episode felt like 10 minutes. I wish I was a writer so that I can put my feelings in words better. Lol . I have watched so many Hollywood TV shows and movies before and none of them was able to touched my heart deeply as with this show. I watched this show in 2020 almost after 10 years or so. If it wasn't for netflix, I wouldn't have ever find this show. Since I am an Indian, I watched with English subtitles but though you don't have to worry about it since subtitles on Netflix was spot on. Throughout the show, I never felt for even once that I was watching a show in foreign language. I am glad I discovered this show and was able to experience the emotions I never felt before seeing anything on TV before. If I had money I would have dubbed it in Hindi language so wider audience in India can enjoy it. I have IMDB account from past five years and have been regularly cataloguing titles I have watched here. But this is the first time I felt like reviewing a title. At last I hope, I can find a cute and pretty girl like Mi-ho in my life, it will definitely be a life worth living. Loving, caring and getting old together. This show brough a sense of responsibility in my life, it brought positivity and I will cherish this feeling as long as I can. Thank you.
